However, several loanees are proving their worth significantly. Notably, Andrey Santos has been named captain at Strasbourg, highlighting his outstanding campaign thus far.
The younger players currently seem to have the highest potential, and Aaron Anselmino is being tipped for a promising future at Chelsea, despite not officially joining the club yet.
Originally, the plan was for the young defender to join at the end of the season, but his playing time in 2024 was cut short due to an injury.
Now, reports suggest that Chelsea are considering bringing him in as early as January to ensure he is up to speed as quickly as possible.
They said: “The 19-year-old defender will not play with Boca again for the rest of the year due to his hamstring tear in his left leg When it seemed that Anselmino was going to stay at Boca until June next year, now this situation is at risk, in danger, closer to no.
“In fact, the version that is gaining strength is that, taking into account the injuries that the defender suffered during this time, the intention of the English Club would be to execute the buy-out that he now has under contract in December and begin to prepare him in England for his debut in the Premier League.”
Even at just 19 years old, Anselmino has cemented his place as a regular starter for Boca Juniors.
Chelsea’s central defense has been relatively stable this season under Enzo Maresca. Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana are widely regarded as the Premier League’s strongest duo.
Nevertheless, there is a noticeable gap in quality beyond these two, and a talent like Anselmino could significantly elevate the overall standard and increase competition for starting roles.
